# Test Scheduling
The **Test Scheduling** section in VEGA AI allows educators and administrators to schedule structured and practice tests for individual users or entire batches. This tool helps ensure that assessments are conducted in a timely and organized manner, with clear instructions and tracking of all tests — past and upcoming.
***
### What Can You Do Here?
* Schedule **new tests** for batches or specific users.
* Set the **test date, time, type**, and **duration**.
* Choose the **test paper or content** to be used.
* See a complete list of all **upcoming, completed, and cancelled** tests.
* **Edit or cancel** tests before they are conducted.
***
### 1. **Test Scheduling Dashboard**
When you open the Test Scheduling section, you see a dashboard with all scheduled tests categorized into:
* **Upcoming Tests** – Tests that are scheduled but not yet taken.
* **Completed Tests** – Tests that have already been taken.
* **Cancelled Tests** – Tests that were created but later cancelled.
* **All Tests** – A combined view of every test, regardless of status.
Each test entry on this list shows:
* **Test Name**
* **Test Date & Time**
* **Test Type** (Practice or Structured)
* **Assigned Teacher(s)**
* **Assigned Batch or Users**
* **Number of Users**
* Quick Actions: **Edit** or **Cancel**
This overview helps you keep track of what assessments are planned and lets you make quick adjustments if needed.
